A          D/A        A  E 
You might believe in heaven
   D                A   E
I would not care to say

For every star in heaven
There's a sad soul here today

D    (with thumb: D C#  B)    D/B (x20232)   (with thumb: B A  G#) 
Wake up in the morning with a good face
E7sus4             E   A
Stare at the moon all day
D    (with thumb: D C#  B)    D/B (x20232) 
Lonely as a whisper on a star chase
D/B          E    D/E (09777x)
Does anyone care anyway
A             D/A       A  E
For all the prayers in heaven
D                 xx3230    
So much of life's this way


Did we leave our way behind us
Such a long long way behind us
D
Who knows when, now who knows where
Where the light of day will find us?
xx0010   xx0033  D E A
Look for the day
A D/A A E   E

Take heart, my friend, we love you
Though it seems like you're alone
A million lights above you
Smile down upon your home
Hurry put your troubles in a suitcase
Come let the new child play
Lonely as a whisper on a star chase
I'm leaving here, I'm long away
For all the stars in heaven
I would not live
I could not live this way

Did we leave our way behind us
Such a long way behind us
Leave it for some hopeless lane
Such a long long way
such a long long way
such a long long away
D
I'm looking for
              Dm       x02200
Still looking for that day
